Eating dinner- it was empty! I guess because it rained all day?
Nikki Beach is behind us...
Last weekend we also got ready for John's parents to come. We havn't had visitors since last summer and we were missing family and Raleigh bad, so we were SO excited! I get a little crazy when people come to visit, especially if they have never been to our apartment before and this time was no different. It was also a good time to FINALLY make myself get some stuff done that I have been putting off. Like cleaning out our closets (automatically my mind starts singing the Eminem song. lol). Anyway, they were A MESS! So I got to work and they look SO much better. One of them still has a little bit that needs to be done to it, but I'm content with the way it is now. If you know me, organization makes me SO VERY happy. and plus now if my in-laws happen to open one of the closets, things wont fall on them now :D
Other things that have happened lately:
-Dexter-We started watching Season 6 of Dexter- SO EXCITED to be watching some of our shows again!!
-Breakfast Burritos- I made about 15 breakfast burritos and froze them. I got this idea off of pinterest (thank you very much!) and they made GREAT breakfasts for John each morning! He just had to take them out, unwrap the foil and put them in the microwave for a few minutes and BOOM! breakfast :D They were also low-calorie (duh).
-Shakes- I have become obsessed with protein shakes. I have now made cookies and cream, strawberry lemon, key lime pie, chocolate peanut butter, peanut butter banana, lemon, and frozen hot chocolate. I. LOVE. THEM. They taste just like milkshakes to me, but they are low in calories. WIN!
-We ordered Keurig. I LOVE IT! My life is so much better now. haha. John started drinking coffee since he has to wake up before the sun and getting a Keurig simplifies the getting ready in the morning process now. Plus, we have a lot of visitors coming in the next few weeks and it's always nice to have some good coffee on hand!
-Car Wash-We got our car washed and waxed! We had a groupon and decided that it was finally time for the car to get a good wash down and wax. Again, we have a lot of visitors coming and our car was filthy! Now we just need to clean the inside. The car wash also took about an hour and a half so John and I had a dinner date in the middle of the week. It was a lot of fun :D
-Carter got groomed! Again, we had a groupon! Carter has never been the to groomers and I was very much a mom when I dropped him off. I've never dropped him off anywhere before. I dont know how I am going to manage when I have human babies! haha. Anyway, he got a shampoo and blow dry, teeth cleaning, his ears cleaned, nails trimmed, and a few other small things. He came back looking fresh! He was limping though :( We called and asked about it and they said that they didnt notice anything. We just chalked it up to his nails getting trimmed so short. We usually just file them, but they trimmed them down a lot. They said he was great through everything though! So that's good :D They even called the next day to check on him. That sort of redeemed them some. haha.
-John's parents arrived! I'll have an entire post on this after their trip is complete though :D
-Half Day- Since John's parents came in on Thursday night, I was able to take a half day Friday- it was much needed and amazing! (again, details later :D)
-Bottled our Beer! Our beer finally finished fermenting this week and so we decided to go ahead and bottle it. We had no idea what we were doing, so we called Krystal and Josh for help. lol. We were able to do the entire thing in about an hour and a half! I had already sanitized all the bottles (thank you sanitizing option on our dishwasher!) so we didnt have to wait for those to run through. We should be able to try it in about 2 weeks! I hope it tastes good. haha
Siphoning it into the other bucket to leave behind the sediment
